The black eye skin and the dark grey bill are the diagnostic features of the white-headed barbet. Note the white tail and grey/brown belly and wings flecked with white, characteristic of ssp. albicauda, in these images. The four left upper birds were photographed at Lake Eyasi in December 2009, courtesy of Chris Schmeling and the right upper and left lower birds, in the Serengeti in August 2006 and September 2008, courtesy of Gian Schachenmann and Louis A. Hansen. Roll your cursor over the right lower bird to see another view (Olasiti, February 2010).
